Any idea about the direction of your team?

Kind of caught in no mans land I find- similar to kingston

Why is Paul Flache suspended?

He was a bad boy.

Would prefer they sell, but one of the connected folks on here said they were looking to buy.

Literally carbon copy of us then.

So frustrated with the way things are shaking up

We need 2 top 6 forwards. I don't want to see them pay for that.

Sell. Sell. Sell.

Sell. Sell. Sell.

We need a top 6 player someone exactly like clattenburg, prob an OA upgrade on Heyes, atleast 1 top 4 d man but I’d say 2 id you really wanna compete with other team- oh and probably a goalie upgrade

(We’re toast)

Sell sell sell, yes.

He was a bad boy.

Well obviously, but what did he do suspension worthy?

No idea to be honest.

If you have CHL TV. It starts after 35 minute mark. Terrible hit on Jimmy Lombardi. They review for like 6-7 minutes. Ref skates over after and throws Flache out. He never spoke to anyone.

Thanks! I didn’t want to rewatch the entire game to see what occurred.

 

[Savard18]

I guess they can’t ever start Bender. Should have just stayed with Brown.

Yeah he's been awful. Just a couple more water picks.

 

[Savard18]

If today’s moves are the market prices McParlan better not be looking to add any pieces! I don’t see how anyone with ANY type of common sense cannot see that…
1. Flint is going to make the playoffs.
2. Flint will not catch Windsor for the 2 seed
3. Flint will face London in round 2 if they get past round 1 and for sure get bounced.
4. You never add just to make it to round 2.

I don't think anybody will be as dumb as Kingston.

But McParlan may say hold my beer. He surely did last year.

If they had sold the last two seasons like we were begging them to do they would have still got just as far in the playoffs as they did and they would have been able to give London/Kitchener/Windsor a MUCH better run this year. They’re putting themselves in that Soo/OS black hole where they’re never really bad but are never gonna be good enough to win a Championship either.

just curious if you are familiar with the players eligible for the Ohl draft in the next 3-4 years? Which of the picks should have been held onto ? Who should have been traded for instead? I can pass your insight to the Fronts management as I’m sure they didn’t try other stuff to improve the team.

You basically gave up 15? 16? picks for Joey Willis.

Hay and Bishop arent worth a shit. Solid 3rd line C and bottom pairing dman.

And your team isn't any closer to catching the teams in front of you.

I would argue Kingston made up ground on Oshawa today. I don't think either team is done adding.
As you’ve witnessed the past few years, picks can be easy to accumulate.

Agree to disagree there. They aren't any closer to Oshawa.

Flint like Niagara unusual quiet

The sixth player was on the ice while there was a scrum. The player did not need to be involved; he was on the ice. I am willing to bet he got hung for allowing the extra layer and having the door to the ice open with players ready to head out.

 

[frontsfan67]

For your sake I hope this rumoured “deal” doesn’t include the 6th overall pick of this years past draft
